Tanya Fox, editor, and Brooke Smith, managing editor, are the editorial team behind CardMaker magazine. When not reviewing design submissions and planning future issues of the magazine and pattern books, they can often be found exploring websites for inspiration and visiting their favorite local coffee shop.

They hope you’ll visit the blog often as they share card-making tips, designer features, paper-crafting techniques, project inspiration and a peek at life inside the CardMaker office.

It’s the Fourth of July here in the United States and we hope you’re celebrating with the ones you love! If you have some card-making time today, create a red, white and blue card for this week’s Card Challenge Corner. Share a photo with us on our Facebook page or Instagram and tag us with #cardchallengecorner.
